Welcome to this site! My name is Claris Lam.
I write short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. I am currently writing multiple novels. I self-published my first novel, “Winner Takes All,” in June 2022. The sequel, “Engagement To Die For,” was released on June 20, 2023.
I previously won 3rd place in the Elora Short Story Festival in 2015 (Teen Category). My poetry has been featured in collections including the Young Canadians Roundtable Of Health’s In Their Own Words: Reflections By Youth On The Pandemic (Dec. 2022) and the first issue of We Have Food At Home (June 2023).
In addition to writing even previously participated in, and achieved all my projects during NaNoWriMo (2020 and 2021) and Camp NaNoWriMo (April 2018, April 2020, July 2020, and April 2023)!
I also go by the name Mystical Authoress for posting fanfiction. I’ve been writing and posting fanfiction on Fanfiction.net since 2012. I also crossposted fanfics to Archive Of Our Own from 2018 to May 2023.
I’ve been writing book reviews since 2015 as well! On this site, you’ll find all my book reviews, as well as other book-and-writing-related subjects such as major updates on my writing progress, news about publication, and so much more. You’ll also find links to all my work that I have published.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope that my works give you a sense of magic like reading and writing do for me.
